This classic Ranelagh Victorian with rent potential could be yours for €1,475,000
Fern House is a dreamy option for any diehard urban dweller.
LIVING IN ONE of Dublin’s Rs is a dream for many home hunters who don’t plan on leaving the capital any time soon. Close proximity to the city centre with their own little pockets of friendly communities, means Rathmines, Ranelagh and Rathgar hold great appeal.
If you fall into this type of house hunter – and have €1,475,000 to spend – check out Fern House in Ranelagh. This beautiful Victorian property smack bang in the village yet set back from the busy road is sure to tick a lot of boxes.
265 m² in size, granite steps lead to the front door of this home of three levels that includes two living rooms and five spacious bedrooms, a dining room, a kitchen and also a study.
The house still has an abundance of period features like ornate coving, ceiling roses, sash and high ceilings, yet it has been updated and maintained over the years to ensure a cosy modern home.
At the entrance level, the elegant hall leads to the living room that overlooks the front garden. Double doors then bring you to the dining room that looks over the back garden. There is also a guest toilet on this floor and a door to the outside with steps leading down to the ground level to get to the garden. The kitchen lies at the back of the house and there’s also a handy utility room.
Three of the bedrooms reside on the upper level. The main bedroom is generous in size and it’s bright thanks to a large sash window. The second and third double rooms both sit at the front side of this home.
There are gardens to both the front of back leaving plenty of room for the kids to play safely while in such an urban area. At garden level, there are two more bedrooms and another kitchen and sitting room. The garden floor level could be its own two-bed home to rent out.
This home’s Ranelagh location speaks for itself. With two parking spaces outside, this is where any cars might remain most of the time. Rathmines as well as Donnybrook also short strolls away while there’s a pick of public transport links including the Luas and DART, close by. This is a great chance to buy a classic Dublin townhouse in one of the city’s most sought after areas.
Fern House, 126, Ranelagh, Dublin 6 is on the market for €1,475,000 through Sherry Fitzgerald.
